In America, it's very difficult to find any decent kosher wines for under $10. In Israel it's easier. Even Galil Mountain's standard series, which I find in Israel under $10 can price as high as $18 here.

There are many good suggestions on this thread. We just enjoyed an Alamos Malbec the other day. However, to my mind there is no better red under $10 than Masciarelli Montepulciano d' Abruzzo. Tho Italian, it matches with a broad variety of foods. Currently selling around here for $8.90 U.S. for the '04.

Assuming "Tho" is short for "Though," Carl, I'm surprised at this comment. To me, Italy is THE country where wine makers and wine drinkers fully understand the affinity between wine and food, and no country makes more food-friendly wines. (The only possible exception being the "modern" wine makers who've succumbed to Parkerization, but there's plenty of more traditional vino around still.)
